The latest first world problem: Not everyone likes Starbucks' coconut milk

Starbucks' coconut milk lattes seemed to go down pretty well in the U.S. last year so hopes must have been high for the U.K. Unfortunately — if social media is anything to go by and it's normally a fairly good indicator of public opinion — many haven't held back when it comes to negative feedback.

For those who have allergies and can't take milk or soya in their hot drinks the addition of coconut milk to the Starbucks menu has been welcomed.

"Nice to see somewhere that uses coconut milk tbh, my daughter has a dairy and soya allergy and we can't use any coffee shops in our town because they only have milk or soya as an option, (sic)" wrote Debbie Daisley.

Ultimately we have to agree with Anthony Allure, who posted on Facebook: "Well no one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to drink it. Go and make yourself a Gold Blend at home so you know 'exactly' what is in it."
